Delrin definitely does not turn like acrylic!

It is used for bushes because super glue - CA - doesn't stick to it.

Acrylic is hard and brittle like perspex, and can be polished up to a brilliant finish. Delrin is just a version of soft nylon and not much you can do with that except make low friction bushes etc.
